Within half a block the man was sweating. By the intersection, his clothes were sticking to his body. The Glock tucked behind his right hip was slick with perspiration. Guns, money, and a bunch of high-tech gear. Just like something out of a movie. Except it wasn't. This was real. Turning right, he headed into the large open-air market. It looked as if a car bomb packed with neon paint cans had detonated.

As the man navigates the bustling environment, he becomes increasingly aware of the physical toll of his mission. The heat is oppressive, causing him to sweat profusely, with his clothes clinging uncomfortably to his skin. His handgun, concealed yet prominent, is slick with sweat, emphasizing the tension of the moment. The scene conveys a sense of urgency, resonating with the elements of danger and high stakes typical in action-packed narratives.

Upon entering the vibrant open-air market, the man is struck by the chaotic yet colorful surroundings, resembling the aftermath of an explosion of neon colors. This vivid imagery heightens the contrast between the mundane setting and the serious undertones of his situation, blurring the lines between cinematic fantasy and harsh reality. The atmosphere is charged, setting the stage for the unfolding drama in his mission.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
